Plots(1)
Starring Michael C. Hall, the fifth season finds Dexter going from happily married husband to guilt-ridden single dad as he struggles to atone for the death of his wife, Rita. But when his dark secret is discovered by a woman seeking revenge against those who brutalized her, he finds a kindred spirit who may finally save - or destroy - him. Julia Stiles joins the cast for the enthralling fifth season. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

The opening episode was a disappointment, because it was too melodramatic, which is not what I watch Dexter for. The fifth episode, in turn, brought a lot of unnecessary material and was only there to stretch out the story. But what struck me most was Dexter's occasional emotional outpour, which he wasn’t supposed to have at all. But I had fun for the most part, the story was strong enough and Julia Stiles didn't get on my nerves as much as the (anti)hero’s dead wife.

... this makes Season 5 look great, like a brand-new series. Rita and her children are gone, leaving only the lone wolf and his disturbed immediate family. Julia Stiles could at least be half as interesting as Jaime... And hello, Katherine Moennig. And yes, Julia Stiles is ultimately one of the highlights of the entire series. But is it possible that the series has been trying to find itself for four whole seasons only for the fifth to be the fateful one?
